Tiddly Winks

When I was seventeen I joined a group called 'Coming Alive'. It was done through my church and the name was a sort of nickname the man who lead the workshop gave me. The story was as follows: I had just lost the chance to be voted officer of the youth group, and I was very disappointed. So, I end up in this group of about 130 people. He wants to know how we are feeling that day, and at that moment I told him I was disappointed. He said 'put the disappointment into your hand'. I cupped my hand as though holding an ornament of some kind. He looked at me and said 'That's Tiddly Winks!' I then outstretched my hands and he came over to me and spontaneously started to dance around the room with me. Everyone's applauding and I'm laughing like a ninny. That was the first time I heard that. Well, about six or seven hours later, we did our performance and then were about to leave to go home. As he hugged me, he said 'good bye, Tiddly Winks'. When I named my pet, I was feeling especially nostalgic and thought it would be neat to call her Tiddly Winks. So I did. Now, since this is a Pet Society forum, and that's her name, it was not hard to decide on a username.

I will definitely be posting pictures. Gotta start getting my stuff together so I don't forget anything. I am so excited. Now that the room is reserved, I can rest easy.

Thank you so much, rep added. The trade was splendid.

Not really, but they will rank up there. I think my husband's and my wedding day is the best day of my life.

Just three days. I leave on Monday and come home on Wednesday. I can't afford to stay longer than that.

I will, I just hope I can actually sleep at night. Last night I was dreaming of Paris. Of sitting in quaint cafes and sipping flavored coffees. Oh this will be such a wonderful time, I just know it. Yesterday when I bought my train ticket, the guy was laughing at my enthusiasm. I kept saying in Germany 'I can't believe I'm doing this'. Planning this little adventure was very very spontaneous. It reminded me of the film Hans Christian Andersen when Hans decides to drop everything and go off to Copenhagen. It's totally like that. The irony is, the first time I saw that movie, I thought he was crazy for deciding to go like that. Now I've done the same thing, so that must mean that I'm crazy too. Haahhahhaha. Of course, it's true, isn't it?

I got my room reserved, so now Monday can come. I really can't believe I'm doing this, but am so excited.

I sent over 3 x 999 for the vacuum. Just to let you know.

I loved that book, and only last week I heard the author being interviewed on Unity FM, the online radio station of my church. It's an amazing book and one that I read because my friend Kokonee recommended it to me. I was a bit hesitant about reading something like this, not because of the portrayal of God, but because of how sometimes books have a tendency to go the route of 'my way or the highway'. This one did not do that at all. It was an insightful read, and something that I will read again and again as well as recommend. A wonderful book.

Definitely. It will be fun. I sent a message to the hotel so all that needs to get done is the room reserved and then I'm ready to roll. I can hardly wait.

I'm interested in the blue vacuum cleaner. How much? Tiddly Winks needs one, her house is a mess. Hehehehe. whoops I didn't see the 'closed' sign. I'm such a dork...must have Paris on the brain.

Trade completed, 3x999 received. Many thanks.

okay, I'll send it over Lazar.

How would 3x999 be?

bumping this to see if any other folks are interested.

yeah yeah, you said that yesterday. I just put it on my wish list...although Tiddly Winks' house is rather full. Hahaha.

No it doesn't. Maybe getting that Paris view window in that gold cash shop mystery box triggered something. Hehehe.

I think it's < 3 together. Never mind, it didn't work. Oh well, worth a try.

Maybe cupid wings for the pets, or cupid diapers. That's all I can think of.

I will definitely post pictures, my camera will not leave my side. Weeeeee. I am soooo excited. I haven't done anything this spontaneous in over 10 years and wow, it feels good.

It's official, I am going! I will leave on Monday and come back on Wednesday. I can't believe it, and all because I was talking about Paris view windows in another thread. I am about to burst with excitement.

I will indeed celebrate....in the way of hopfully taking the train to Paris next week sometime to meet up with Sophiebella.

Not very many, but check your door, I unearthed a little gift I thought you might like.

999's received.

Items sent. Edit...was a tad bit confused, but send back what you don't need, and the in game offer you sent sounds fine by me.
